Design of Concrete Structures

by Arthur H. Nilson, David Darwin, Charles W. Dolan

The 14th edition of the classic text, " Design of Concrete Structures," is completely revised using the newly released 2008 ACI (American Concrete Institute) Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the previous editions; first to establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete, then to develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice.

"Design of Concrete Structures" covers the behavior and design aspects of concrete and provides updated examples and homework problems. New material on slender columns, seismic design, anchorage using headed deformed bars, and reinforcing slabs for shear using headed studs has been added. The notation has been thouroughly updated to match changes in the ACI Code.

The text also presents the basic mechanics of structural concrete and methods for the design of individual members for bending, shear, torsion, and axial force, and provides detail in the various types of structural systems applications, including an extensive presentation of slabs, footings, foundations, and retaining walls.

The rigid structure and strength, yet suprising ductility...yes, reinforced concrete is truly a majestic material. This is simply a fantastic book. I literally could not put it down. I would recommend it to anyone that is enthralled by concrete, especially reinforced concrete. A must read for those who are avid pursuers of the subtle nuances that concrete provides.
